 I have tried to record this video a number of times today, but I decided that I would do a live stream about it, so we can have an open conversation, a calm conversation. I promise to keep my cool, but I need your help. And the thing is, nobody has to help. I wanna make this clear. Before I get into anything else, I'm not leaving YouTube. I'm not quitting YouTube. I'm gonna continue to make YouTube content. All the giveaways that are currently going on are still going to happen as scheduled, as planned. No problem. The money for those giveaways already set aside. All my financial commitments are set and everything is good to go. But for those who have not been following the situation, let me give you kind of an abridged short version update. In September, we had our largest viewer month ever. We had a crapload of views, a crapload of revenue, over $4,000 in ad revenue, and a lot of super chats as well, like $700 in super chats. It was crazy. Our crazy month, biggest month in channel history, a lot of you people watching right now likely found me during this month because of Super Mario 3D L-Stars. We got caught up in the YouTube algorithm. The deal is that after we got four days into October, it might have been a little bit before that, but four days into October, suddenly 700,000 monetized views vanished on my channel between September 13th and September 30th. In fact, a majority of the days in there have zero monetized views. I've already shown this, I've already proven it. It is available on my channel in prior videos if you want to go look at it. I've been in contact with YouTube support over this, thinking it was a bug or something. And right now, YouTube is publicly telling people that it's not a bug because this happened to some other YouTubers as well. No, not big YouTubers, of course, just small-time YouTubers like myself and are now running around being told that this is due to a new policy change they have with their bots in detecting what they call, well, let's just call it what it is, fake views. So what they're saying is essentially that the views are coming from bots or from unto worse means. Now, I have proven to YouTube that 70% of my viewership last month came from their browse feature, which I have zero control over. No YouTuber controls the browse feature on YouTube. I want to make this here, it doesn't matter if you're PewDiePie or if you're CNN, it does not make any difference. Be Jimmy Fallon for crying out loud. You have no control over the browse feature. It is an automated feature ran by YouTube. So I got a bunch of views through their browse feature, which is how people discovered my channel and clearly they discovered it because I got caught up in the browse feature when people were looking at Nintendo videos specifically about Super Mario 3D All Stars. This led to a massive growth at my channel of over 15,000 new subs, 1.6 million views, 800,000 monetized views. And obviously we gave away a lot of stuff. We gave away almost $1,000 worth of stuff to be honest with when I added it all together from that month. And that's fine, that's what was all paid for, all taken care of, not a big deal. But that revenue is now mostly gone. They have reduced my revenue from $4,131 down to $1,300. And it looks like they are not going to do anything about it. But it gets worse. In the month of October, I have made 53 cents. That's not a typo, that's not a mistake, 53 cents. Ads are still being shown on my video. I know they're still being shown on my video. I've had a number of people confirm to me they're getting ads on my videos. But I'm not getting the money for it. What that means is that YouTube is either just directly funneling the money to themselves or my channel has been completely blackballed. They're gonna show these ads and then just eject the money at the end of the month anyways. Which doesn't matter, since there's only 53 cents made in ad revenue. There's some super chats from the other night. But yeah, 53 cents. So some of you guys might be wondering, why are you streaming? You said you were done streaming on YouTube. Well, that's because this was going to be a YouTube video anyways. Because reality is, if I'm going to continue to be a YouTuber on this platform, at least at the volume I've been doing, the everyday nature, you know, more than a video once in a blue moon, I need your help. I obviously do YouTube for fun. Okay, first and foremost, this is a hobby. I do it for fun. It is not my primary source of revenue and I wanna make that clear. I have a full-time job outside of YouTube. My bills are paid, my children are taken care of. However, for me to take time out of my schedule from a full-time job, full-time college, obviously being a parent of three kids, to take time out of my schedule and dedicate it to this channel, revenue is a justification to my family to dedicate time to do this every single day. Without that revenue, I can't do this every single day. So no, I'm not gonna vanish off this platform. I'm not just gonna go up in a puff of smoke. But after this month, I likely will need to reduce down to a video once in a blue moon, maybe once a week, maybe once every two weeks. And just because it's a video only coming once in a blue moon doesn't mean it's gonna be this big, massively edited, whatever big video, because honestly, the time that I'm gonna find for it is gonna be similar to now, where I have a quick hour here and that hour happened to be, you know, in the middle of the week somewhere, you know, randomly and I just got a video out on some news piece or whatever. I'm not gonna be able to just suddenly take all the time I've been doing now and put it in the higher edited videos because that time that I've been using for YouTube is gonna be spent elsewhere that's more productive in my life. And that's not because I wanna quit YouTube, it's because the money helps, it just helps. It's nice to have that additional revenue while I'm in college, basically. So, at this point, I need help to continue doing what I'm doing. I need you guys to do a few things, you know. Some of you guys won't be able to, and I understand that. One is supportonpatreon.com slash Nintendo Prime. There's a link in the description for it. Support can go as little as a buck a month on there. It can go as high as you want on there. It's your choice. But supportonpatreon.com slash Nintendo Prime is a source of revenue that goes beyond YouTube. YouTube can't touch it, Twitch can't touch it. Nobody can touch it but Patreon and me. It is a revenue source outside of the balance of this social media junk. They take a very small cut, a very tiny cut out of it, and I get the rest. It is a way to support my channel and support my work and keep me doing what I am doing here the way you guys know and love these three, four, five videos a day. The live streams, everything that happens on this channel, it's all supported through that Patreon. So if you would go to that Patreon and can support for as little as $1, I have no idea how many people are even watching right now. I don't even have the stats in front of me. But literally, we get thousands of views on my videos a day. If only a thousand of the people that watch my videos in general on my entire channel of over 60,000 subscribers, went and gave a dollar, I'd be able to continue doing YouTube the way I've been doing it. If not, maybe even better. Because I'd feel even more motivation knowing that my money's not coming from some random ad company or from Google, it's coming from you guys. And it would make me even more dedicated to making my videos better. So there is that. Obviously, not everyone can support monetary. I understand. Another way is to go over to our Twitch. If you go over to Twitch, there's a link down in the description as well, go ahead and give our Twitch a follow. I'll be doing 99.9% of my live streams over there. Don't plan to really stream here much on YouTube. I don't like supporting this platform more than I have to as a content creator, which I will be supporting in so much as putting up videos. I'd like to say I'll never stream again, but I already saw that once and I hear I am streaming again. So it'll be a rare occasion to stream on YouTube, but don't expect it. I'm gonna stream a ton on Twitch when I have time. In fact, Twitch is treating me so well right now as a streamer that it's possible that if this stuff at YouTube doesn't go anywhere, I might just be a streamer and not do anything else. And I'd hate to do that because I actually enjoy YouTube more than streaming. Crazy, I know. But I actually enjoy this more than streaming. But continuing to support a platform that is backstabbing me behind the scenes is tough. It's just tough. Some people might say, go find sponsors. I've attempted to find sponsors. I've been rejected by, let me see, my last 122 I've applied for. Sponsorships are not as easy to get as people make it out to be. You'll find a bunch of articles online saying it's easy to get sponsors. It's easy. It's not as easy as they claim. They make it sound like anyone can just walk up and get it. No. Yeah, small content creators can get it. The kind that are getting 10,000 plus views for video. I don't average that. Reality is, without your guys' support, I am not gonna leave YouTube, but I'm not going to be doing what I've been doing every single day. So, you guys can either support on Patreon or not. You can either head over to Twitch, give me a Twitch sub or not. I can't tell you what to do. All I could say is if you would like me to continue doing this, I need your help. If you don't want to help, if you can't help, it's okay. I'm not going to sit here and e-bag like crazy and make you guys go hit that donation link if you do have a donation link down in the description as well. I'm not gonna say go hit that donation link, start donating hundreds of dollars. I'm not gonna sit here and make you guys do anything. This is not your problem. Frankly, it shouldn't be my problem either. But this is the reality we are in. A channel that before September was making, you know, close to a thousand bucks every single month is making 53 cents in October. When I had more views than I did in August. I'm gonna continue to make videos the rest of this month. I could tell you that, at least Monday through Friday, I will continue to make videos and pray that this is just a mistake and that it's going to turn around. But one thing I know is, I can't rely on and I can't trust YouTube. And obviously the parent company, Google. But what I can trust and what I can rely on are you. So help me, don't help me. I know some people might wonder, is there a certain threshold you need to hit to maintain this? I have no idea. Thousand dollars, I have no clue. All I know is thank you ahead of time for anything. At least for enjoying my content, if nothing else. Now I will get to the live stream chat. We got, looks like 81 people watching. So now I'll respond to you guys. That was my little spiel. That's kind of the part of the video that most people are gonna catch after the fact. We did get a little super chat in there from stare. It means it's a way to go buddy. I don't know what way to go means. But let me just see what people are saying in the chat right now. One of the chat slows down because it's catching up for me since I was not paying attention to the beginning of that. Cause I had a giant spiel that was kind of the video I've been trying to record and I failed at recording a bunch. Who knows, maybe I clipped that out and then put up little graphs and show the 53 cents I've made this month. What's up Phillip? How you doing ma'am? Can't believe YouTube is doing this. YouTube is seriously freaked up. I just know someone will try our best to help you. I'm sorry this has happened to you. Yeah, so as I said, monetary wise, hit up our Patreon. We have a donation thing as well down below. We also, you also can go over on a follow on Twitch. And if you have an Amazon Prime, you can get a free Twitch sub that way and support over there. I am going to keep streaming on Twitch for a while because Twitch has its own way of revenue and Twitch right now is doing okay this month, I'd say for a platform I've barely streamed on. So I'm going to continue to do streams on Twitch for sure even if, honestly, I like making YouTube videos better. Ultimate Key Messers says, I mean, if YouTube can get away with that thing for so long getting at them over like 3,000 bucks in one person's revenue won't make them pay attention. The answer is just to move somewhere else. The problem, of course, I can say in the answer to move somewhere else is the audience isn't there. Now, Twitch has an audience and I've been growing my audience over there. I still think most of the people over there are just coming from YouTube. I'm pretty sure that there's been, hasn't been anyone who's organically discovered me on Twitch yet, but maybe it'll get there. I haven't been streaming there long enough to really complain about organic growth on Twitch yet, but so I've already moved my live streams primarily over there. As for pushing Streamlabs PayPal, Patreon, Streamlabs allows you to donate to PayPal anyways, so I have a Streamlabs link already down in the description. And yeah, Patreon. Honestly, there are some YouTube creators that have had issues with YouTube revenue in the past that have relied almost exclusively on Patreon. So I hope, you know, I can't make anybody go and join our Patreon. I can't because everyone's financial situation is different. It's been a really hard year for people. So if you go support it, great. If you don't, it's not like I'm out on the streets or anything here. You know, eBay, give me all your money. Like, yeah, it's okay. If you can't support, you can't support. If you don't want to support, you don't have to support. I'm just saying that if you want my content to continue as it has, I need some help. I am an adult. It doesn't matter that I have other revenue sources and other jobs or another job. To keep doing YouTube at the rate I've been doing it is only been possible because I make money because that's a justification to spend the time I do doing it. Also, I enjoy it. And that's the primary reason I do it, but the revenue helps. The revenue helps justify to my family why, hey, you know what, I'm gonna take the next hour here and go make a YouTube video. Honestly, you don't have to spend money on free giveaways. If you can't, no, the giveaways are whatever. The giveaways are already taken care of. I'm not stupid. Those giveaways are all taken care of. I'm not worried about it. Those giveaways have the money set aside for them, not a big deal. If Twitch is the move for you, just keep in mind that what you do outside of Twitch helps your Twitch 1,000, yeah, I know. I know, Twitter and YouTube and other things can help grow Twitch followings. I know. I'm at dumb. I know how it works on Twitch. I've seen other streamers over there and how they've grown. Let's see here. Just push Streamlabs, PayPal and Patreon. Philip, I have pushed Streamlabs, PayPal and Patreon before. It's never reached, I would say, sustainable levels, which isn't even that high. I'm not looking to live off it, you know? YouTube is scamming. YouTube needs to be stopped. Tweet at Keemstar to stir up some drama. I've already tried getting to hold Keemstar. He just, we're small time. Doesn't care about this stuff. No one cares. Like, if he puts my name in a video, I'm the one that gains followers. He doesn't get anything out of it. Keemstar likes to follow drama of places that get him views. He's not gonna get a lot of views from a small time YouTube channel talking about it. I'm the one that benefits from that, not him. Reading really tired of YouTube trying to hide Briboy, yeah dude. Like, why is our Briboy games comments being hidden all the time? I don't get it. Why are you on YouTube? I thought you switched to Twitch. I am on Twitch. This is a special stream because this was supposed to be a YouTube video. But I just kept screwing up recording it and I said, why am I messing around recording it? I could just do it here and then leave the stream up after the fact. I've tried getting to hold the cornering. I've tried other rich from review tech USA who actually knows who I am. I've tried getting to hold him. It's just the realities of a small time YouTuber. People don't care. Bigger YouTubers just don't care. I, Briboy games, I can see your messages but we keep having to click show. Why it's hiding your messages? You're not saying anything inappropriate so I have no idea. It's just YouTube being YouTube. Guys, the giveaways aren't the problem. High five, the sky. The giveaways are not the problem. Don't worry about the giveaways. The giveaways have nothing to do with it. Those are happening anyways. The giveaways are irrelevant to this situation. Irrelevant, like 1,000% irrelevant to this situation. All things take a lot of time. You'll make it somehow. Good luck to you and I'll always be watching you next, BK. Rewind the stream if you're not sure what's happening, guys, if you just popped in. I don't want to have to repeat the spiel. Well, how long was that spiel? Like five minutes, six minutes at the very beginning of the stream? Well, after, after that. Yeah, guys, I'm not, like, affected right now. This is something, I mean, technically, next week is when it first starts affecting me because that's when the September money comes, but. The giveaways are not affected now. My family life's not affected. None of that's affected right now. The quartering talked about my situation in a video. What situation? OJ, I know, talked about it today in a stream. What video did the quartering talk about it in? I don't remember him saying anything. Then again, I didn't watch, if he said, if he made a video today, I didn't say anything today. I didn't watch any of his videos today. I usually don't watch the quartering. That's the thing, I don't watch a lot of his content. Nothing against the guy. I used to watch him and then, I don't know. Well, he must have brought it up with the end is near video. The end is near video, I'm guessing. I'm gonna open it up and watch it after my stream. He must have briefly mentioned me in that video. Doesn't really matter. I haven't gained any subs or anything from it, but I don't know anything's gonna happen. So that video is the one. Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops. I didn't mean to hide that. Dang it. Sorry, Bribo. I didn't mean to hide that. I clicked the wrong button. Think a friend who will like your content will try to get him to try it. Yeah, sorry, Bribo. I did not mean to hide that comment. That was my bad. I clicked the wrong button. Yeah, about YouTube stealing your money and such. Yeah, so he talked about it in that video. I wonder if I go leave a comment on his video if he'll take notice. I'll do that later. I'm streaming right now to you guys, so. Later, stare at me. Thank you for the super chat earlier. Sorry if I kinda, guys, sorry if I sound like a little, I'm gonna admit, I don't like talking about this because this is like a personal thing. This whole situation with YouTube has been affecting my mental health. This isn't a what was me, I'm depressed, gonna kill myself thing. That's not it. I've been feeling down, and I'm gonna be honest, I've been feeling down like all month, like all month long, I've been feeling down. I try not to let it affect certain parts of my life, like taking care of my kids and spending time with them. It hasn't really affected things with you and me and I's relationship or anything. My personal life is fine. I'm really good at compartmentalizing and not letting this affect that. But it has affected other things, like when I play a game on my Switch here, I don't really have any fun. I'm not enjoying gaming right now because every time I game, I'm reminded of my YouTube channel and the situation that's happening with it. I'm not exhausted, I'm not burned out, I'm frustrated. As it says, hashtag frustrated. I am frustrated as hell. And the sad thing is there's nothing I can do about it. I've provided all the evidence I can. I can't afford to fight any sort of legal battle over it. I just have to hope for the best. I have to hope for the best. Now, yeah, you guys can support me and lift me up and maybe I can be a fully fan-funded creator. That'd be wonderful. I think I'm too small to be fully fan-funded, but you know what? If we have enough people supporting like on Patreon or whatever, or on Twitch or Twitch subs, great. But I just don't see that happen. I just, forgive me, I just don't see it happen. You finally realize life sucks. Oh, Phillip, that's nothing new. You learned that as an adult in a hurry that life sucks. I've known that for a long time, that's nothing new. I just don't like my hobby making me stressed out because I've made 53 cents. Like, I used to not care about money on YouTube. Like, I wish I could go back to like three, four years ago when I just didn't care about money on YouTube. But it's different now because back then I was only making a video once in a while. I didn't have a studio built. I didn't have a set up for my gaming stuff on the back wall. I didn't even have a desktop computer. Didn't have this mic, that's for sure. Like, I just, all these things help me enjoy this hobby more, enjoy this a lot. But like, the joy is kinda being sucked out because one thing that was nice was, hey, you know what, you rewarded a little bit. Like, it wasn't a lot. You know, most of my videos would make like five to, you know, five bucks a video, eight bucks a video. It wouldn't be much. Well, you know what, you do three, four videos, adds up 15 bucks a day. I mean, you know, you start getting into it and the next thing you know, you're making a decent amount of money and that decent amount of money is enough to justify to your family the amount of time you spend doing it. Now, and this is what it is. Jacksepticeye fangirl. You just, you subbed to my YouTube channel or over on Twitch, I'm not sure. It doesn't really, I think you followed. I think you followed over on Twitch, thank you for that. Think that's what it said, Jacksepticeye. Jacksepticeye. Thank you. You're doing good to have 61K. I want to start a channel too, but I have to start from scratch. Um. Dude, this sucks, but we can go through this together. What they're doing is wrong. You have tons of support. You're an amazing guy we got to see. I mean, I know I have a lot of support. I hate this. I didn't want any drama on my goddamn channel. I was doing so good this year with no drama, man. This is so dumb. This is just so dumb. I've never had a complaint about YouTube like this before. This is so dumb. 61K, hundreds of thousands of views a month, 53 cents. The switch kickstand always falls off. That means it war, that means your kickstand's worn out. Yeah, dude. YouTube just, this is dumb. It's dumb. I don't know what else to even say. I mean, you guys got anything, got any questions, anything you want to talk about because I don't even know what to say at this point. Yeah, 53 cents made in October. We are on October 16th. 50, well, I'm sorry. Maybe I made an extra penny today. Maybe it's a 54 cents now. Maybe I'm at 54 cents. Woo-hoo! 55! I'm gonna do that commercial. Yeah! I'm gonna get some cold cuts today. See, I'm still in there. The happy-go-lucky-nate is still, I'm still here. It's just, oh, it's so frustrating. As I'm sitting here streaming on YouTube. For those of us who are YouTube members, would you rather that money end up over at Patreon? That's a good question. Probably. YouTube takes a bigger cut, Joe, of the members. Plus, I don't really, I might really be doing streams over here so you lose a huge benefit of being a member anyways because of the streams. It's better to be a member over at Twitch. Now, Twitch still takes 50% of the sub, but if you have Amazon Prime, you get subbed there for free. But yeah, the money's obviously better spent over on Patreon. Patreon takes a way smaller cut than YouTube does. I mean, I was pushing members on YouTube for a while, but that was back when I thought I was gonna be streaming on YouTube for a long time. 44 ladies. Woo! 45, that's me! Gets some cold cuts. Gets some cold cuts. Gets, like, commercial, man. My daughter got me into that commercial. It's a bit more interesting as a deli person. Nice. I'll try to support you if I can, man. Hang in there, I'm trying, man. Like, I just joined to tell you that I hate the Switch Extent, okay? Pre-order a Secuna of Rice and Rune. It's an even cheaper price game and do a Let's Play on Twitch. I don't know, I might go stream on Twitch again here in a bit. Play a game. Try not to stress. Try not to stress out and play a game. Even though games don't really help right now. Maybe I should just play some Madden over there. Like, maybe I should play some Madden. I don't really get frustrated about Madden. Not that anyone's gonna care that I'm playing Madden on Twitch. Ooh, that really fits my following. Madden! And I'm playing Madden on PC so like, nobody can play against me. You know, ignore our laws and murder 2020. Good luck with everything. I'll try to tune in as much as possible. Sounds good. Sorry, going through this. I hope things get better for you and please stop, don't stop making videos. There's still gonna be some videos after this month. It's just, it's a POS if you wanna do anything besides play online. And that's what I do is I play online. I might do a MUT or anything. It's just online matches, ranked online matches. Play Breath of the Wild, it'll help. No, I can't play Breath of the Wild right now. I lost my game cartridge. I know. Bad on me. I don't know why I don't own that thing digitally by now. I'm sure Mr. Awad can. See, I believe he can have it. So I'm sure Mr. Awad is looking down and seeing how successful Switch is. I only add mods on Twitch as I need them. I haven't really needed more than like one right now. So we'll see. If things get crazier on Twitch, I'll, you know, obviously if you were a mod on YouTube, you are likely to be a mod on Twitch but I only add them as I need them. Like the reason that I have mods on YouTube is because I needed you guys. So as we need them, I'll bump people. Did I hear what? Like a motorcycle sound? Motorcycle, there was someone riding, there was someone riding a motorcycle outside. Was it a Patreon donation? I have not here heard any Patreon stuff. Has there been Patreon pledges and it's not coming through? Wasn't a motorcycle? Cause there was a really loud motorcycle. There was a Patreon pledge? Is that what you guys are saying? I didn't get any updates for Patreon. For some reason, they're supposed to come through on Streamlabs but for some reason it's not. No, there's no additional Patreon pledge, I don't think. It looks like we had 71 patrons before, we're still at 71. Oh, Joe. Joe upped his Patreon by five bucks. So he went from five to 10. Yeah. So Joe's dropping his YouTube membership, which I don't know when that goes up, end of the month or whatever. And then he upped his pledge on Patreon. So that's what happened. Thank you for the $5 Super Chat, Erin Owens. Rather you go throw that $5 a Patreon, but that's okay. Thank you so much. Any support is support, even if it's still, even if it still gives YouTube their money. It was a very charged message, it was really loud. Why did the alert pop up? Or did the alert pop up and I missed it? Maybe I missed it. Maybe it's my computer. My computer volume's on, I should have heard it. Yeah, so we had a $5 increase by it from Joe on Patreon. Yeah, what's going on, you people? What you need to know, I guess, as current updated as it is, I've only made 53 cents on YouTube in October because YouTube thinks my views are fake. So, I am asking for community support and supporting on Patreon and all that jazz. If people would like to, you don't have to. This is what it is. It was a very charged message, I will say. Was it like, oh yeah, or something like that? I think that's what the Patreon one is supposed to be. A giant. Oh yeah. That's what it was? Yes, yeah, that's what it's supposed to be. Yeah, the Patreon one is supposed to be that. Oh yeah, but nothing popped up. So it did the alert noise, but it didn't show the alert. That's funny. That's funny. Dude, we're all broke. We're all broke. Nothing new. Oh, it did show the visual? Okay, I just didn't hear it then. Yeah, I didn't hear it. So the noise cues are for me. They're for me. I'm supposed to hear the noise cues and I didn't hear it. Oh yeah. There we go. There we go, got that one. James Fazl, $10 on Patreon. Got it that time. Maybe my speakers were too low. Is that a new one? I don't even know if it's new. Yeah, James Uptiz. Yeah, as I say, I thought James was already a Patreon. So James just Uptiz by five a month. Thanks, James. I appreciate it. Oh yeah. I heard it that time. No, it does not mark. How can I continue to stream on a platform that is only paying me 53 cents in October? Like, how many views do I have this month? Let me go see what that is relative to my views in October. 53 cents. That's looking at my views here. So not only do I have all this money missing from last month and I'm losing subs like crazy now. Probably below 60,000 by the end of the month at this rate. So let me look at October only. So in October, we've got 250,000 views. 53 cents. That's my reality right now. So the only reason we're streaming this is because I tried recording this video a bunch to talk about this and I just couldn't, I couldn't make it work. Where's Mr. Pumpkin? He's right here. He's back here. He's chilling. He's here. Mr. Pumpkin is present. I have reached out to people. I guess the quartering mentioned something about it already. You did a video. I haven't watched it yet. If it wasn't almost Halloween, I'd be like, what even with the pumpkin? He's not even out cause it's Halloween. He's just a giant stuffy. I wouldn't have a fair a long time ago. How can you do just if I pay only 53 cents? Because my views are fake apparently. My views are fake. That's the excuse. My views are fake. Oh this thing, this is like a cover for an HDMI cable. I have a chewing problem with my nails so I should really shouldn't chew on that either. I get this every time I'm frustrated that I start to chew. So yeah, my viewers are fake according to YouTube. You guys don't exist. You're not real. I'm botting my channel basically. They think I'm just bot viewing my channel. Just bot viewing my channel at all. I'm not. So all these views, you guys aren't real. Don't exist. Isn't it weird how those people you guys took in, screwed you over and now YouTube is? When will I catch a break? Oh yeah, those people earlier. That's not, that's not bringing that up. I don't know when I'm gonna catch a break. Let me check my grades. See if my finals got graded. Why one final did get graded? I know that but if my other one got graded. Because my other one determines if I get an A in the class. And there was part of the final that needed to be manually. Yeah, I hasn't been graded yet. So I got a 95% of my one class. Oh yeah, Jake, then $1 on Patreon. That must be a new patron. Thank you so much for the dollar. Jake got, oh wait, $30. Wait, JLo? What happened? Is that JLo? Or are we getting multiple people? JLo. JLo! What's a $30 increase? Sorry, I don't know why I said a dollar. So when I look over at the mini feed, it pops up in the mini feed for a half a second and then goes away on Streamlabs. I don't know why. JLo, thank you so much for the $30 pledge. Should we bust out the drinks tonight? I feel like I need to drink tonight. This feels like of all the nights. Hey, my database class. No, my database, what does it start? When does my database class start? No, what does my database? What's the syllabus? Oh, I can't click the syllabus. Modules. Oh no, this must start on Monday. Oh yeah. There's the JLo $30. I'm confused. Oh, Jake Bysted. That's what it was. Jake, sorry, I didn't want to skip you. There's the $1. So Jake Bysted. Thank you so much for the $1. Maybe it's time to do some drinks for Patreon pledges. How about this? Patreon pledges lead the drinks, huh? I feel like that's fair. Patreon pledges lead the drinks. So we got a couple of $5 ones in there. A couple of $5 ones in there. So we had Joe and James. Yeah, it's a drinking kind of night. I'm all on my lonesome until like 1230 because Yulia had to work late. So, cheers. We got James Basil here as well. I got you guys. It's that kind of night, that kind of night. Jake, got you for a dollar. And then JLo, I got you. We'll do, we'll get some hardcore stuff for that 30. Did you have a class that starts this Monday? Yeah, so what happens is, my college, so my college works where they split up the classes. So I have five classes over 16 weeks, which is standard. But what they do is they double up the class so each class only lasts eight weeks. So you get twice the amount of work per week. So it's like, as an example, this last semester I only had two classes. However, the amount of work you get, it's like you're taking four, right? So this upcoming semester, I think I have three classes so it'll be like I'm taking six. So sucks one half better than the other. Cheers. Let me see, I'm not fake. Thank you. I know you're not fake. Suka, these nuts, Suka, these nuts. I love that name. I know you're not fake. Why does YouTube think you guys are fake? Yeah, so this date of the class starts on Monday. All right, but anyways, that's not what I came on here to look at. Oh yeah. Can you get another picture of some? Hey, Jay Dragons with the $1. Let me get, we're gonna do this little UV Apple here for J.Lo. See if we can finish the bottle in a shot. Let's see how much is there. Oh yeah, finish the bottle in one shot. It's that kind of day. Maybe this will make me be less frustrated. Maybe this will make me less frustrated because, and then I'll be able to go stream Madden or some other video game on Twitch for an hour and be all amazing. All right, cheers. Ho ho, that actually wasn't too bad. That actually wasn't too bad. Then we had another $1 patronite, I know. Thank you guys for those super chats as well. I do appreciate the support even though YouTube gets 30%. That's why I say I'd rather you go support on Patreon where YouTube doesn't take that cut. But that's up to you guys. We also have a Streamlabs donation link you guys can use as well. Streamlabs donation links are great as well. There's only a little tiny, God, what is it? Like a 1% or something that's taken out for a processing fee or whatever. Philips is, wait, so are you telling me a Nintendo channel posting videos of a game from the biggest IP out there that lots of use isn't believable? That's what my argument was. So, can I show you guys on my phone? Let me see here. Because stats are weird on it. I have to figure out this new backend on the new YouTube studio. But let me see if I can show you guys this. How well it's gonna show up, I have no idea. I need to go to, not real-time views, I need to go to, I'm actually getting decent views today. Well, I had some good videos today. Where is it? No, where, views, average view. I'm wanting to show you guys something. Is it under discovery audience? Maybe it's under audience. No, discovery, oh yeah, traffic sources. Or here, September. So in the month of September, I don't know if you guys can tell. Anyway, it says 71% were from browse features. So that means that natural YouTube discovery is how my channel got all its views in September. So there was a big game that came out. My videos got caught up on YouTube's algorithm, got suggested to a bunch of people. 35% of people who saw it clicked on it. Like, let me show you impressions. I can show you impressions, I think. Yeah, impressions for, I mean, heck, it's still really high now because God, look at, look at last four. I mean, look at the end of September. You see this really high spike? That's the end of September. I had 800,000 plus a day, September. I mean, look at that spike. Right when that spike hit is when they took away everything. I had 1.2 million impressions that day. I had a million the next day. I had 1.15 million the day after that. And, oh man, all that money. Basically, the moment I went big on YouTube, they said, fuck you, your views are fake. And now they're fucking me even harder in October than just not letting me make money. Thank you, Star Lord, by the way, for following over on Twitch, I appreciate it. Yeah, Bribe, I know, isn't that, dude, yeah. Ultimately, when you're tapping or clicking, it's so easy to click the wrong one and then hide the message. I am now addicted to the horse cock song, thanks to that last YouTube stream. Also, what's going on? Yeah, I'm gonna probably stream it. If I can get the game I wanna play working, I'm gonna be probably streaming over on Twitch here in about a half hour. We'll end this and I'll head over to Twitch if you guys wanna follow over there and keep this thing going. Link down in the description. Fake is mad and 21's a new game. Is any other YouTubers got contacted? Dude, they're getting even worse BS. They're getting even worse BS. People having contacted and they're being told their views are fake. And YouTube's like, nothing we can do, we told you what it is. That they used to be the theme song of the channel. That's not anymore. Now it's my victory song. I play it when I play games and I win. If I win, we play that song. So, if I play a couple games of Madden tonight over on Twitch, if I win, busting out the horse cock song. If I don't and I end up doing Fortnite or something instead, then I'm gonna do that. It all depends if I can get it to work. PC game streaming shouldn't be that hard but sometimes my computer doesn't like me. Yeah, I know. I know I didn't when I got that. When I got that number one on Fortnite, I know. I forgot. I'm new. I'm new at it, right? I gotta remember to play it. We need to win. I will let you win an overwatch. What posters? What are you talking about Pokemon God? Oh, are you talking about the 3D All Stars posters? Or are they sold out now? No, Briboy, they can see you. We're showing your comments publicly. We can see you. It just hides when you post it and then we click a button and it shows it live. But yeah, it's weird. I don't know why YouTube's doing that to you. I don't know. They must not like you. It's okay. They don't like me either. They don't like me either. So it is what it is. GBA or Net, ooh. I'm gonna end up going with Nest because I played more Nest games but dude, GBA's got a nice library. A nice library. I'm not gonna play Genshin Impact. I'm waiting until I have a PlayStation 5. I know I could play it on my PC but I'm not gonna play it right now. My PC, basically my PC has like no memory left. Hey, Pixel, Jelly Pop, Bits, Gaming is now following over on Twitch. Thank you so much for following. Again, guys, the best way to support me, Patreon, Patreon, Patreon, use the Streamlabs donation link. Go follow over on Twitch. Let's get our, like guys, one thing that is cool, Twitch has their own sponsorship program. If I can get my channel on Twitch, I know it's like we're only at 80 views on YouTube. How the hell are we gonna do that? I have no idea. But if we can get our live viewer account per stream over 100 on Twitch, I do qualify for sponsorships. And you know what sponsorship I would qualify for right away? Fireball Whiskey, baby. Fireball Whiskey right now is doing a sponsorship where they pay like 113 bucks for a single live stream. Yeah, I think it's $113. They pay for a single live stream if you have over 100 viewers. And I already do shots on the stream. So wouldn't Fireball Whiskey be a really great sponsor for my streams considering I already do shots on stream? But to get that sponsorship on Twitch, I need to have over 100 viewers per live stream for like a month straight. Like, they will sponsor me. They will literally sponsor me on Twitch if I had over 100 live viewers. So like go follow on Twitch. Let's get the Twitch viewership up. And Twitch is a lot better about sending notifications than YouTube is. Just throwing that out there. What if this happened, it wouldn't happen to Mr. Beast. They would not touch Mr. Beast with a 20 foot pole. Plus he gets a lot of money from sponsorships. He has a lot of sponsorships. So he would be okay. But obviously, yeah, we're not big enough for sponsorships. I wish we were big enough to get those YouTube sponsors and then maybe that would offset the YouTube losses until YouTube gets their head out of their ass. But they're not. We are a totally fan-funded. There are people DMing me. I haven't been on Patreon in a while. I've got DMs on Patreon. Wait. Oh, some easy allies. They talked to me once in a while. Easy allies. Hey, we're up to 210 a month. Nice. Only like 790 to go to like really make my YouTube channel click. Still a long ways away. I mean, it took us 73 to get to 210. So let me just do the average per person there. By the way, we're still gonna do the podcast every week. That's not gonna go anywhere. We're gonna do the podcast every week. It's just on Twitch. But let me see here. Why can't I do the math right now? My brain is just not working. Maybe it's the alcohol. Briboy Games, thank you so much for the $2. They didn't hide that one. They didn't hide that one, Briboy. You should've put a message in your Super Chat. You should've put a message in your Super Chat because they're not hiding that one on you. YouTube of course isn't gonna hide you when you're giving them money. Because you know they get like 60 cents of that $2, right? They're not gonna hide it when you're giving them money. Should've put a message in it. Let me see, by 73. So we're getting about three bucks a person. So 2.9. So let's just say that's three. So let's go with 1,000, divide that by three. So we only need about 333.33 repeating patrons. So let's just go 334 patrons we need to get there. We're at 73. Just a little short, just a little short of getting to the point where I can be self-sufficient enough with user support to not give two flying Fs about YouTube ad revenue. I would never bitch about YouTube ad revenue if we had that kind of support. I would just be, you know what? YouTube ad revenue, fuck me over, don't fuck me over. I'm not gonna be reliant on you to keep making my content. This is all I got left for now. That's all right, Brevely. I'll show that comment for you. Saving the rest for Pikmin 3 Deluxe. I'd say I'd just buy you a copy, but then everyone's gonna start begging. You're just gonna buy me a copy. What about your giveaway? Give away, give away. Oh my God. Are you gonna buy me a copy? You're gonna buy me a copy? Oh my God, I have to buy everyone. I literally go broke buying everyone copies of Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Next thing you know, I'm going in the opposite direction of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get the revenue up. I'm not trying to blow it all before it even gets there. Be careful on Twitch though. They ban people from drinking. Twitch, so I've talked to Twitch support before I switched over there to kind of clarify their rules. So I can drink on stream over there. You have to put a disclaimer before you start doing it. So you have to say like, you know, please drink responsibly. Only drink if you're of legal age. Stuff like that. So they don't care if you drink. They care that you don't get so drunk that you do really stupid stuff. So Twitch's concern is that I'm gonna get drunk and take all my clothes off. That's their concern. Their concern is that I'm going to get drunk and get, and that's basically what a person who works at Twitch told me. Like, hey, as long as you are not being stupid, we don't care if you drink on stream. That does not bother us that you drink on stream. But a lot of people are stupid. So they kind of try to judge it on a case by case basis. So as long as I put a disclaimer right before I start drinking, or as I start drinking, which I usually do anyways. If you guys ever watch, I always say try to drink responsibly. I didn't do it today on YouTube here, but I usually do it like drink responsibly. Don't be stupid. Don't drink and drive. All that shit. But yeah, it's like, they're okay with it as long as you're not stupid. But there are people that are really stupid about it. So Twitch is just trying to dance that fine line of you're an adult. Of course you can do it, but don't be stupid. Don't be stupid, stupid, as they say. Yeah, the only thing that Twitch says, illegal or dangerous consumption. So yeah, what they mean is, if you're underage, or if you're drinking it to the point that you're doing something stupid, that's basically what their policy is. Which is exactly what they told me. So I'm of legal age clearly, and I'm not doing anything stupid. And the guy told me about the disclaimer thing. I think that's just what Twitch wants people to do. As for swear words, Twitch doesn't ban over swear words. Oh my God. I was literally watching TeeFoo briefly. I've never seen him stream before. I watched him for a second. He dropped like five swear words in the span of 30 seconds. They definitely don't ban over swear words. I think what they will ban over is if you're swearing at people. Because that's considered an attack. As long as you're not swearing at your users, you're not swearing directly. Like if you're just saying something like, God fucking dammit, why the fuck did I die? They're not gonna ban you over that. But they will ban if you're like calling someone like a POS or something like that. Like they don't want you to attack people. So, but that's pretty typical. That's pretty typical in every TOS. They don't want you to attack people. And I don't want people attacking people, even in the chat, on my streams. I have rules like, hey, be kind. Like literally my Twitch rules, what does it say on my Twitch channel quick? I was just there. It says on my Twitch channel, come on Twitch, load up. Twitch.tv slash Nintendo Prime TV. Typing that in manually because for some reason I don't have my Twitch channel bookmarked. Why? I don't know, I'm dumb. Yeah, my rules there say, the chat rules are pretty simple. Treat everyone with respect. As my children learn in school, if you follow the three Bs, you can't go wrong. Be safe, be responsible, be respectful. Simple. So we don't allow the attacking to happen on my stuff. People hoped it would be a full remake, probably. Yeah, yeah, Ninja's more of a S word, H word. Not really, no shit or hell, not really bad ones. Ones that you can basically say on cable TV. I won't ask because I only asked because in recent years I felt YouTube and Twitch both had double standards. Everyone has double standards. Everyone, Twitch isn't gonna bug me too much right now. I'd have to be a really controversial streamer before Twitch is really gonna worry about me. Oh, let's see here. Oh wow, a stream. Thanks for notifications. Follow on Twitch, they actually send out notifications and we're gonna be switching over to Twitch and playing a game in a bit. Unless you're a female, you can verbally attack anyone you want, if you're a female. I'm not gonna get into any of the sexist stuff. I try to stay away from it. I am just a video game streamer, YouTuber. I talk about games, I try to stay out of that stuff. I followed your channel over Super Mario 3D All-Stars, didn't own a Switch before then. When I heard that game was coming out, I pre-ordered it but couldn't find a Switch anywhere until the day of its release. Well, I'm glad you found one eventually. I gotta get used to Twitch, yeah. Twitch is a different world. It's a different world over there. I'm not gonna lie, it is different. But I like it. I like Twitch. You know, the little bit I've been over to this month, it's not that bad. And there's like giveaways, dude. Giveaways are so easy to do on Twitch. Okay, so I set it up with Nightbot and Nightbot handles everything. Now, granted, you can set it up with YouTube. It doesn't work as well with YouTube. There's errors that come up. But it works just fine with Twitch. I can do polls to you guys in the chat. I can manually send out ads, which I've been doing just to be funny and fuck with people. What's my favorite game, Breath of the Wild? This is the sixth stream you've watched today? Jeez, you've been watching a lot. Support is here. Oh, and Raids, dude. Raids is really cool. So at the end of your streams on Twitch, you could choose someone you wanna raid, and it'll pop up in the chat, and people can join the raid. And then whenever I'm ready, I just hit a button, and all of us, my stream ends, and all of us pop over to that person's stream. I think that's really cool. I think that's what, that used to, Raiding used to not be that way. Used to have to link it in the chat, and then everyone would just go with the stream one end. But now it's a really cool way to support other streamers by doing raids like that. I'll probably raid someone tonight. Yeah, Fire Souls is a love-doing raid, yeah, dude. The raid feature's great. There's some cool stuff, and some cool add-ons I haven't even gotten into on Twitch that are great. Maybe we'll get into that today. When we're streaming over there. We'll definitely raid someone at the end of the stream. Unfair tilt's falling over there, thank you so much. Following on Twitch. You tried streaming on Atari Jaguar on Twitch? I guess kids, yeah. Yeah, people aren't gonna care for Atari Jaguar too much. You gotta find the right crowd for that, right retro crowd. From the hacking Pokemon stream? Nice. To give you any Pokemon you want, jeez. I love how people are complaining that this is their sixth stream. They've viewed today, yeah, they're just helping you grow. That's all right. They're not complaining. I don't think it was a complaint. I think they're like, man, this is the sixth one I've watched today. I think they were just making a statement. I don't think it was a complaint. I didn't take it as a complaint. I like that one guy that gets his chat to try to beat a game or something. Nice. Yeah, there's like, I haven't got it set up yet, but you can do mini games and have your chat and play a whole bunch of games while you're streaming. I wanna get that set up so if people are kind of bored with the show, they're like, if people are kind of bored with the stream itself, they can start playing mini games with people. I wanna get that set up on Twitch as well so people can start playing games with each other, all that jazz. This is your first stream of the day. Hopefully you'll join the second one because we'll be streaming over on Twitch here in about 20 minutes. I'm actually gonna get the title set up over there. Category, I'm just updating that. That's gonna be my next stream. Attempt to be my next stream if it works. A lot of, I felt like YouTube will just destroy itself. I don't think it will. YouTube's almost too big because now YouTube has the support of mainstream media. Mainstream media is coming to YouTube now. ESPN is here, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, all like, Sci-Fi's here. Like, dude, everyone's coming to YouTube. YouTube now does cable TV for crying out loud. Like, YouTube is so big now. It'll never go away just because it's got mainstream media support. The question is, will a new platform ever come up that can rival YouTube in terms of support for non-traditional media? You know, people like me. Hasn't happened yet. There's been a lot of attempts, bit chute, a lot of attempts. I just got rejected by one the other day I applied for. Like, there's been a lot of attempts for alternatives but none of them have the views, none of them have the audience. YouTube is Google. YouTube is the number two search engine in the world. And the funny thing is the number one search engine is Google. So Google owns Search. As someone who, God, they have a monopoly. Other searches exist but, I mean, come on. YouTube has a monopoly on Search. As someone who is more of a retro gamer, Twitch isn't exactly the place for streaming retro games. YouTube is overfilled with retro, yeah. Yeah, I understand Ring Fit. It takes some dedication and some time. The thing is, I have an audience I can drag from YouTube over to Twitch, so to kind of get me started on Twitch. And I think having an audience to start on Twitch might help with Twitch. We'll see, I haven't seen organic growth over there yet but I'm gonna be doing more streams over there because Twitch is great for, you know, how many subs am I on Twitch? Like, I have a decent amount of subs on Twitch right now. I really do. Let me go to creator dashboard here and check out my subs on Twitch. Like, there's a lot more subs on Twitch than I've ever had members. I don't think we have more subs than Patreon supporters. Thank you, NotDreamer3 on YouTube for coming over. I mean, yeah, we got 63 subs right now over on Twitch. Like, that's more than we've ever had YouTube members. And a lot of that's because Amazon Prime, man. Amazon Prime. Lot of Amazon Prime gives you a free sub on Twitch. So we have some audiences over there. We'll see what happens. I'm gonna be streaming Madden or attempting to stream Madden tonight, so. Madden isn't exactly my audience's cup of tea, so we'll see how that works. I'm trying to do a wide variety of games on Twitch and kind of see what happens. I could go all night if you streamed all night. Well, I may have to cut myself off eventually. Where's my, Sonic or Mario? I mean, come on, that's not even a question. Mario. You just made a Twitch account to follow me, nice. Nice. 24 hour Madden challenge now, it's not happening. Make 10 videos in a row telling me, so just to completely tank my YouTube channel, but tell everyone to join on Twitch. I should probably do it at the beginning of my streams when I'm always like, hey, check out our giveaway. We're giving away two copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Or Super Mario, not Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Super Mario 3D World plus Bowser's Fury and two copies of Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and a Switch, and a PlayStation 5, and an Xbox Series X. Oh my God, I had it on the description. I should be like, oh, fuck giveaways. Go follow me on Twitch because YouTube sucks dick. You think YouTube's gonna suggest my video then? If I start out in the first 30 seconds telling people that YouTube sucks dick, go follow me on Twitch. I'm becoming a Twitch boy. I don't think it's gonna help things much. I'm not gonna make videos saying join me on Twitch because I'm not gonna get a lot of views. I can't say sucks dick. Like you can't do that in the first 30 seconds. YouTube will just not let your video be seen by anyone. But like if I go look at my YouTube channel, like you know, what you wanna do, God, I've lost 11 subscribers just while streaming. People don't like when you bitch about YouTube. I'm just looking at my channel. Yeah, you can't do that at the beginning. I mean, I could say go follow on Twitch. God knows just the word Twitch will trigger YouTube. Hey, we have over 100 likes in the streaming, even though we only have 63 viewers. Just say YouTube is a small pee pee. You can say sucks pee pee. I got so excited for that fake giveaway once I heard you say 3D World Plus Palsus Fury giveaway. That's not a fake giveaway. That's an actual giveaway happening to a darker heart. That's like those giveaways I mentioned are actually happening. Go watch my videos on YouTube. They're actually happening. I mentioned giveaways that are real. What's my favorite Mario game? Probably Mario Odyssey at the moment. Maybe there's some recency bias, but. At least I can admit there might be some recency bias. When you try to expose them, any uno reverses you. YouTube would ban you. What if I like, it'd be funny. So, say my main setup here. I'm totally just streaming on Twitch. But like, on my laptop, I set up a YouTube stream. And the entire YouTube stream, it's just like a bouncing graphic that says, go watch on Twitch. It's just a giant stream ad for Twitch. Would YouTube ban me? Would they actually ban me if I did that? If I actually did that? Would YouTube ban me if I streamed a stream just to tell people to go to Twitch? I don't think technically it shouldn't break community service. That's funny. I should try it sometime. I should try it sometime. Was OJ banned on YouTube for having a stream on YouTube that was just an advertisement to go on Twitch where he actually was streaming? Did OJ, I'll have to talk to OJ. Did he actually get banned for having a stream that advertised go to Twitch for the real stream? Was he actually banned? I'll have to talk to him. That's hilarious if he actually got banned. Just give me more ammunition. Just give me more ammunition against YouTube. He got banned for that? That's crazy. What if like occasionally I turn the camera on and I go, hi, come to Twitch. Then I turn the camera off. The little webcam on the laptop. Hi, guys, I'm streaming on Twitch right now. You should be here. Turn it off. Go back to a bouncing image. Like set the laptop right here in front of you every now and then just turn the camera on. Man, YouTube, are you gonna ban me? I'm here, I'm reading the chat. You guys are awesome. Thank you for all those super chats. They all right banned his channel, but I made a video saying I was streaming on Twitch and they didn't ban my channel. Maybe it's because he had a strike. I think that might've been strike related. That was probably strike related, Phillip. So because he had a strike, yeah, that was definitely strike related. That was a strike related thing. That I understand. So he had a strike and then during the strike he told people to go watch him stream on Twitch, which YouTube's gonna be against because you're circumventing your strike. He was circumventing his strike. So if that's how it happened, then I'm not worried about it because I don't have a strike. So long as I don't have a strike, I'm not circumventing the strike. I'm literally streaming on YouTube. I'm literally streaming, heck, I'll even get in the chat and chat with people. I'll literally be streaming on YouTube, but it will be just to tell people to go to the real stream. So I'm gonna have to try that out. I'll have to try that out, just see what happens. If YouTube bans me, I mean, I'm only making 53 cents. Does it really matter? I mean, it matters. I don't want my channel to get banned, but. It's not 53 cents a day either. We're talking 53 cents a month. All right, I'm gonna go try to get my stream set up on Twitch, guys. Thank you for tuning in. I appreciate all the support. Let me give a shout out here. So yeah, during the stream we had a $2 Subra chat by Briboy, $5 by Sukadeez Nuts. $5 by Aaron Owens. We had $2 by Starr at me earlier. And then we also had some new patrons. I'll refresh my new patron thing here. Notifications. Notifications! Let me load up new patrons here. So we had a $30 pledge by JLo, JDragons for a dollar, and we had James Fazl and Joe Prosko both up by one. Thank you guys for that. I'm gonna be over on Twitch, guys, like literally in like about 10 minutes assuming everything works out. I will be over on Twitch. Please stop by the Twitch stream. Let's have some fun. Catch you guys. Hopefully over on Twitch. Peace.
